Halleck and the Teamster.

General Halleck, like General Sfa er« man, was in military as well as per* sonal affairs a man of some odd ways. When in camp he was accustomed td put on citizen’s clothes and to privately take a look at men and things. During one of these tours he helped a teamster out of, the mud, and then gave him a severe lecture for not driv* ing carefully. The teamster, after floundering through it, and, having reached the top of the bluff, relieved himself of volley after volley of paths upon everything in general, and upon General Halleck in particular, for not having the creek bridged. The criticism was just, but the general had ah ready ordered &e construction of a bridge, and, being incognito, hugely enjoyed the verbal castigation.
